Coming soon, the 2025 Volvo XC60 will be an electric car (EV) that fits between the XC40 Recharge and the long-awaited electric replacement for the XC90 SUV.

Volvo wants all of its cars to be electric by 2030, and the XC60 replacement will be a key part of that plan. Instead of a number, the new XC60 will have a name.

It will look like an estate car and will have EV choices. It will likely be powered by batteries made by Volvo and Northvolt's new joint venture.

Northvolt is currently building a new battery factory in Sweden that will be able to make 50GWh of batteries every year by 2026.

Before that plant opens, Volvo will buy batteries for the new XC60 from Northvolt's current facility at a rate of 15GWh per year starting in 2024.




The car that competes with the BMW iX3 will be the first one to use these batteries, which are more than two-thirds of Volvo's output.

As with the XC90, the XC60 will use the same SPA2 architecture, which can house both pure-electric and hybrid drivetrains.

This means that both hybrid and electric models will be able to use the same design.

For the past four years, the SUV has been the best-selling car from the Swedish brand.

Because the current XC60 with a gas engine is so popular, Volvo is expected to keep it on sale for a while along with the new electric car.



Volvo wants its electric vehicle sales to rise from 6.5% of all sales last year to 50% by 2025.

By 2030, the company wants to have no gas engines at all. To reach this goal, the number of electric vehicles (EVs) must quickly grow, production sites must be heavily invested in, and new ways of building cars must be developed. Volvo looks like it will be the "legacy" maker that beats Tesla.
